AL-QURAN
A farmer came to Prophet (saw) and gave him dates which
were in high quality. The Prophet asked him whether all dates
from Khaybar were in good quality. The farmer then answered
in negative and said that he need to exchange from 2 portions
of lower quality dates to get a portion which is in better
quality. He sometimes even need to exchange with 3:1 portion.
The Prophet prohibited him to do such transaction. Instead, he
was advised to sell all those lower quality dates to gain cash
(silver back then) and use it to buy a good quality dates.
HADITH
Issues arise
1. The existence of the commodity or subject
matter.
The subject matter exists by way of legal
devise.

In the forms of
Murabahah
Commodity Contract
Sale and buy of
commodity
transactions take place
within the banking
internal system.
Usually by Treasury Department of the Bank
Managed administratively by the Bank
The reason transaction managed by the internal
treasury of the Bank is because:

It is supposed to take place at Bursa Malaysia, to
comply with the financing process of trading that
requires a trading platform such as Bursa Malaysia.

The Bank then follows the trading process flow of
Bursa Malaysia in its internal process by having the
commodity, commodity supplier, commodity buyer,
etc.
2. The Ownership of The
Commodity
The commodity which is normally used in the
contract can be transferred from place to
place (transferable commodity).

When Bank manages the transaction, the
commodity will not be in the possession of
the Customer and the Bank.
The commodity will be in the
possession of the third party when
the transaction is done.

It is because the commodity is
involving the crude oil, metal etc
which are not easy to transfer
from one party to another.

3. The existence of Contract

Cannot stand on its own without underlying
contracts.
